History
Some areas formerly with this district were later a part of Ash Fork Joint Unified School District.[4] The origins of public education in the Williams area can be traced to 1882, when School District No. 22 was established following a successful petition to the Coconino County Board of Supervisors. The district's first school operated from a one-room schoolhouse near the intersection of Bill Williams Avenue and Second Street. John F. Scott served as the first teacher, and the district's inaugural board of trustees consisted of Lewis L. Burns, Joseph L. Nelson, and James H. Rumsey.[5]
